Invasors vs Reyes del Atlantida will take place next week. It seemed like they’re setting up an Arena Coliseo Tag Team Title defense on 12/23, but it’s no certainty.

The announcers said this would be the last Arena Coliseo show of the year. They’re probably not back in the building until 01/13, since a 01/06 Three Kings show surely will be in Arena Mexico as well. They also announced the usual Monday show at Arena Puebla on 12/24 will be on Christmas Day (Tuesday) instead. CMLL always moves it’s shows off Christmas Eve. It may be an interesting card, since CMLL will then have Christmas Day shows in Puebla, Guadalajara and Mexico on the same night; CMLL is big enough to run three TV cards in one night, but maybe not when people are on holiday vacations. Not sure if CMLL’s TV crew is big enough to handle all 3 either. No word if the following (New Year’s Eve) Puebla show will be moved as well.

Quien Pinta Por La Corona

This weekend was the Mexico City regional tryout for Quien Pinta Por La Corona on Saturday, then the semifinals and the finals on Sunday. They sent out a photo of the DF tryout winners, though not any names. It seemed like a lot of Perros del Mal opening match luchadors and and those from DTU who weren’t working this weekend happened to win an AAA contest, but some other independents and people from around Mexico City advanced. (Black Terry Jr. has photos from that whole day.)

Sunday included everyone from the tryouts in two sets of cut downs. The first cut down included all the regional winners…

Of note: Didn’t see a picture of the Mercurio, though the CMLL one hasn’t been around much the last couple months. Warrior Steel was on last year’s Arkangel’s tribute show as one of his trainees. Jinzo is a friend of Zumbi.

After these 11 matches, the judges cut it down to the finalists (via Apolo Valdes)

Women: La Jarochita – May be originally from Veracruz, but has been wrestling around Mexico City for the year last, including for IWS in a multi-women’s match which included Marcela. Must have qualified in the DF group on Saturday
Mini: Rey Celestial – Puebla based mini, often teaming with Lucky Boy. Previously scheduled to make his DTU debut next weekend.
Men: Saturno. Originally named Boomerang, he’s the son of Gran Cochisse and was a regular in Arena Coliseo Guadalajara in 2009 and 2010, and made a handful appearances in Mexico City as part of the minis division. Left CMLL soon after CMLL fired Cochisse and has wrestled in indies around Guadalajara since, with no obvious way to advance past that point until now.

AAA had one more show of it’s regular luchadors to end the night. Mini Abismo Negro, for the first time in Mexico City in over two years, and La Magnifica, who was acknowledged as last year’s female winner, both appeared. New champion Texano lost by chokeslam to Cibernetico in the main event.

Cerbero Negro and Dr. Cerbero agreed to a hair match next Sunday. (Figures.) The last time they had a hair match, Dr. Cerbero defeated Cerebro Negro in what was the finals of a loser advance cage match show. Cerbero Negro has beat Dr. Cerbero in the only other two times I’ve got recorded.
